Which Week 6 fantasy sleeper wide receivers should I target?
Noteworthy WR Week 6 matchup boosts include:
- Green Bay Packers wideouts Dontayvion Wicks and Matthew Golden play the Cincinnati Bengals coming off a bye, a cupcake secondary matchup if we’ve ever seen one this season.
- OK, maybe the Dallas Cowboys are the best option. Upgrade the Carolina Panthers’ Xavier Legette.
- Wait a minute, the Baltimore Ravens are a doormat against wideouts, too. Roll with the Los Angeles Ranms’ Tutu Atwell to pop a few big plays and fill in for bye-weekers or use as a general streamer.
